@gaulicsmith Property taxes are fine & shouldn't be abolished, but there should be reformation to incentivize people to have more kids
Something like a progressive expansion of the homestead exemption on a per child basis. 7.5% of home value deducted from taxable amount per child makes sense
ChatGPT needs a 'fork chat' feature. I want to be able to branch a conversation from any point like git branch -> explore alternate timelines without ruining the main thread. or copy pasting like a freak

tool, Cold. He built it himself and it's awesome.

@shdu11546816 And given the businesses you’ve built, I am genuinely curious how you’ve been able to push yourself to the extent required in spite of these beliefs.
@shdu11546816 I appreciate the nuance you uncover through how you explore the doomer side of AI integration, but how do you motivate yourself to build anything with these beliefs? It seems like massive cognitive dissonance that would be very difficult to override to generate agency.
**harmful to creativity IF it’s used as a bandaid for everything. I mainly mean that throwing money at a problem rarely solves it, but I do acknowledge that it can be a very effective tool to scale up experimentation (as long as you are disciplined with cutting the losers, something I think lots of companies struggle with - especially when their employees livelihoods depend on the experiment continuing)
I’ve thought about this in terms of how operating leverage - mechanisms & procedures that reduce the time, effort, and risk required to produce a certain outcome - is the ultimate end goal, and how little financial capital actually provides in getting more if you don’t know where to allocate it (e.g. tech startups that raise money just to raise it)
I think this is because operating leverage can only be acquired when you know what work needs to get done to produce an outcome and then intersect it with creative ways to do it better. If you have investable capital, it can be a shortcut as you can run a ton of experiments in parallel to discover things on both threads, but it is not a prerequisite (and I’d argue it can be harmful to creativity) to attain more operating leverage
The more knowledge you accrue, the more operating leverage you can gather, the more value you can create, the more money you can make
